Summer Anniversaries!

Hi Everyone! Did you miss me!? I know I haven't posted anything in a long time, truth be told, I haven't been in my craftroom in a long time! I finally got one card done the other day! Just one! I have many more to make, because August (hard to believe we are already at the end of July!) seems to have lots of Wedding Anniversaries in it. Here is the one I came up with the other day.

Petite Petals 'Thank You'

Hi Everyone! It seems to be a theme with me lately, 'Thank You' cards! This one reminds me of my wedding for some reason. Not that I recently got married (we're celebrating 16 years in August). Maybe it's because of the colours... who knows!

This one was very simple to make. If you need a card in a hurry, you can just change the flowers to any colour that you need. You could also sponge the edges of the flowers.

Potted Plants

Hi Everyone! Today's card is for one of my wonderful neighbours. You see, I live by really great people, who like to help each other out. The other day I was out back with my daughter and my lovely neighbour stopped to say 'hello'. Somehow the conversation lead to flowers and the next thing you know we are in her backyard admiring her beautiful flowers. Then I ask her for advise on some of my own flowers. Well, that turned into her helping me re-pot some plants with her potting soil. So, I just had to make her a 'Thank You' card!

Here is a close up of the center of the card so you can see the detail better. I wish there was a way to get the stem of the plants coming out of the dirt better. (I'm a bit of a perfectionist, if you didn't know already!)

The pots are actually made from a Quickutz die. Not sure if anyone remembers what those are! It is the ice cream tub, modified of course!

Work of Art

Hi Everyone! How is the summer going for everyone? I am having a hard time getting inside. We have had such beautiful weather here in Southern Ontario that I am trying to be outside as much as I can. Plus, I love sitting out back watching everything grow and listening to the birds singing away!

Back to the card I have for you. About a week ago a friend of mine asked me to make her some cards. She just loves the greeting 'Oh Happy Day' from the Sale-A-Bration set in 2013. I wanted to use certain colours for this card. What do you think?

Petite Petals

Hi Everyone! Hard to believe that it has been almost 2 weeks since I posted anything! Having the kids home for the summer is fabulous, but certainly a lot more challenging to make a blog post or even get to the craftroom! Please bear with me as I figure this all out.

Today's cards have the same general layout, but I changed the greeting and the position of the little butterfly. I love how you can change one little thing on a card and get a completely different look and feeling about the card.

The gardens around my house are just blooming with beautiful colours and I am trying to capture that in my cards.
